Ingredients

  • 2 Pounds - Chicken Thighs
  • 2 Tbsps - Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsps - Jerk Seasonings or Gluten-Free Jerk Seasoning
  • 1 Tsp - Onion Powder
  • 1 Tsp - Garlic Powder
  • 2 Tbsps - Cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. In a large bowl, place the chicken thighs and pat dry with a paper towel.
  4. Pour the oil and coat each chicken thigh with oil.
  5. Sprinkle the seasonings, jerk, onion powder, and garlic powder. Finish by coating with the cornstarch.
  6. Coat each thigh with seasonings. I prefer to use my hands but you can use 2 spoons to toss it as well.
  7. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up in a single layer on the pan, leaving space between each one so they evenly roast.
  8. Bake at 400°F for 35 to 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 175°F.
  9. Let the chicken rest 5 minutes before serving.
